MSR SweetWater Microfilter

Item #CAS0480 | 23 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Great Filter!

By Ranked #149 - Water Treatment March 23, 2009

I've had this filter for 9 years, works great. At first it was hard to pump and keep the clean tube in the bottle at the same time. Now I attach the clean tube right into the port of a camelback or platypus bag. The bag lays on the ground and I only have to pump, which is pretty easy with this filter. Used in the South East U.S. and I've never gotten sick.
note: I do use Polar Pure iodine if I have serious doubts about the water. Iodine tastes really bad.
